"This special expanded volume in Hillsdale College's Champions of Freedom series assesses the legacy and the future of Austrian School economics. Named for the nationality of the founders of this free market theory of human action, the Austrian School has had an increasing impact on economic theory and practical politics in the last several decades, resulting in a Nobel Prize in Economics for Friedrich von Hayek, whose contributions to the School are discussed at length herein."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
